    摘要: One embodiment relates to an apparatus that includes at least one circuit block and a voltage source configured to supply a first voltage to the at least one circuit block. The apparatus also includes a power delivery unit configured to be selectively activated based on a whether a quantity of power is to be delivered from the power delivery unit to the circuit block. A control unit is configured to, upon a change in power consumption of the at least one circuit block, activate the auxiliary power delivery unit to deliver the quantity of power to the circuit block. The auxiliary power delivery unit can quickly supply large currents since it does not necessarily rely on slow control loops using voltage sensing. Rather, the auxiliary power delivery unit often delivers pre-calculated current profiles to respond to the timing characteristic of the change of power consumption and of the voltage regulator.

    摘要: In order to achieve reliable operation despite the greater interference susceptibility of a circuit (1) at a reduced power supply, in addition to a global power supply path (6, 7) to supply the circuit (1) in operating state, a rest state power supply path (10, 11) is provided with which the circuit (1) is connected in particular via transistor diodes (14, 15). As soon as the circuit (1) by way of first switches (12, 13) is separated from the global power supply path (6, 7), because of the voltage loss in the transistor diodes (14, 15) it is supplied by the rest state power supply path (10, 11) which is provided exclusively to supply circuit parts (1) set into rest state and on which therefore fewer current or voltage peaks can occur.
